“Hello Marseille est un jeune projet associatif basé sur l’intelligence collective et le bien commun. Plus de 300 volontaires sont venus apprendre et contribuer au développement de nos activités depuis 2010. Notre communauté rassemble des personnes qui veulent s’éduquer à un niveau professionnel aux théories et pratiques du “Développement Durable”. Nous ne sommes pas un endroit ordinaire - il est nécessaire d’être sincèrement motivé et engagé pour s’intégrer pleinement dans l'atmosphère de notre environnement social. C’est un endroit pour vivre, apprendre et créer ensemble."

In our place you'll be treated as a responsible adult coming to help a sustainable community grow it's impact to the surrounding society. Beyond your commitment to the project (30h.week in average) you can connect to our projects, our network of partners and the local culture in Provence.
We will ask you to jump in a culture of change that we develop through shared knowledge and best practices, where everybody can experiment what it is to work altogether the same with an objective of social impact and ecologic care. It's a great opportunity to learn about many topics in an multi-cultural environment.
If you are not ready to give and receive, if you come temporarily just for an easy place to stay or if you come to take but not to share ... you will not be happy in our place so please think carefully before you decide to join.

BE CAREFUL! Since the first day i arrived the volunteers were talking bad about the manager. There is not healthy breakfast and no french courses, even if you can manage to find a school, you will not have time to go bcs of the timetable. I travel from Mexico to help there one day they kicked me out, they didn't care if i had a place to sleep that night, that happen also to another 4 people, that one day they become homeless in a foreign country and maybe without resources to pay the accommodation. I came back after two months and people continued expressing bad about the manager.

Sorry dear visitors, we had to ask Abimael to leave because he was dihonest with the other volunteers and abusing them. For example he was changing the team planning in hidden to let the other volunteers more work and saying it was our management team doing this.

After several lies and general meetings where he was still not willing to open himself and make peace with the growing conflicts it was provoking, we had to confront him in front of witnesses to protect other volunteers.

We highly recommend not to take him in any volunteering, and kindly ask our visitors on this website not to hesitate contacting us and make their own image of our work.

Kind regards,
Cedric
